Border Patrol Agent shot at multiple times while patrolling

A Border Patrol agent was shot at multiple times while patrolling the San Ysidro Port of entry early Sunday morning.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the patrol vehicle was parked one and a half miles west of the port of entry when multiple bullets shot the driver’s side of the vehicle from the Mexican side of the border. The agent was not injured but drove to a safe location until Mexican authorities were contacted to assist in the shooting.

Initially, two suspects were taken into custody but one of them was released, while the other was in possession of the handgun in the shooting. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is currently investigating this shooting.
